I can see the value of land here, steadily increasing. But the price is a different matter. I'm willing to pay a fair price. But so far, almost everything I've seen is more than I want to pay. Even after getting used to the idea it's not going to be cheap. Once in a while I see something that looks interesting, but then I look at the price and it's just not worth it to me.

For what it's worth - my wife and I went and saw some properties not too far from that area just south of Curanipe. Just the 500-1000 m2 lots there were being listed from anywhere between 9,000,000 up to 23,000,000 depending on location and whether they already had water/electric. All were accessible by road in any type of vehicle.

To give you an example - A ~700m2 lot that already had water and power lines adjacent to the property, with ocean view, about 2km from the shore, was listed at 19,000,000.

Anything from 1/2 hectare and up around there with an ocean view, if you're just perusing the classifieds, probably at least costs as much as the one you want to buy.
